Beginners uvw mapping problem

browny · 13-04-2005, 06:32 PM

Hi everyone, i have a small problem with texturing a model i am currently making, I am making a guitar and have come to ad the fender logo to the head of the guitar and found it quite difficult. I have used a blend material type and made a material with a wooden background and the fender badge attached. I have given the fender badge a different mat id. However when i come to map it i can get it in the correct place but the badge is mirrored on the rear of the head! I dont know how i can fix it, can some one please help. Thanks a lot matt

First of all what software are you using? Second, could you please post a few screenshots or renders that visualy show us the problem?
